BEFORE

Schedule session around 11 to 13 months age.

Think about a theme and colors you’d like to use.

View Backdrop Options HERE

Do a practice run at home with tiny cake or whipped cream so baby gets used to the idea.

Pick an outfit that matches your chosen theme and colors.

Size down! You don’t want clothing too big or baggy

Outfits will get messy so keep that in mind.

DURING

Please select your FAVORITE out fit first.

Children tap out and you want to get your best shots. The best shots are sometimes in the first 15-20 minutes

If you decide to bring your own cake:

Cake with soft frosting is ideal. Fondant doesn’t smash well

Avoid frozen cakes and chocolate frosting.

Small cakes 6” to 8” inches work best.

Bring a sippy cup and favorite snacks.

Bracelets or any baby jewelry should be tight enough not to be able to be removed by the child.

AFTER

Enjoy the memories!
